lame finish

Rating: 9/10 (5 September 2003)

Why that lame finish? Come on, this movie deserved a more diligent handling of every movie's more precious part: the ending. It starts out so careful. Characters are evolving slowly. Losses and hopes are balanced and we have no idea where the whole thing is heading. But then - spoilers ahead!!! - who believes that the _boy_ (remember his tight bond to his parents?) will turn over night into a fighting machine defeating a trained army corps??? Still, the twist with the army being the biggest threat of all (forget about the deadly virus): excellent!
